Yesterday marked a departure in my annual Constitution Day festivities.  For the last 3 years I’ve gone to one of my kids’ elementary school classrooms and thrown a birthday party for the Constitution complete with cookie cake, candles, patriotic plates and napkins, party favors and a brief presentation about the honoree.  Kids know birthday parties so it’s fun way to highlight and celebrate the Constitution while piquing their interest in the subject.  I always leave feeling renewed and excited about the possibility and potential of helping our kids – “Liberty’s kids” – to learn to love these things.  And seeing their faces light up does a mom’s heart “good”.   All is not lost if we look for fun and innovative ways to celebrate our country’s unique and exceptional heritage.  I believe there’s a document that reminds us we have a duty to do these things but it’s birthday is in July!
